Hooped Up

The Nets could use a boost at small forward, and they belive that sharp shooter Mike Miller could be that boost.  

“The Nets have begun shopping around for an upgrade at small forward, but Larry Hughes — a name they’ve discussed lately — isn’t someone they consider a particularly good option. He’s more like a last resort. The man the Nets have set their sights on (since the start of the week, anyway) is Mike Miller, who has been a washout since arriving in Minneapolis, according to an NBA general manager familiar with the discussions. One snag, perhaps two: The Timberwolves are not in any rush to move the 28-year-old wing, even though Miller averages fewer than eight shots in 30 minutes per game, so they’re playing hardball.”
